Abstract

Objective: To examine the quality of work-life, workload, and burnout in ICU nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. Methods: Cross-sectional online survey study conducted. The data were collected with the Nurse Information Form, Quality of Nursing Work Life Scale (QNWLS), Individual Workload Perception Scale-Revised (IWPS-R), and Burnout Measure-Short version (BMS). For a better understanding of the impact of the pandemic, nurses were asked to evaluate the questions on these scales twice, taking into account the working conditions/environment in the (1) pre-pandemic and (2) pandemic periods. Results: A total of 249 nurses were included. Total and subscales of QNWLS, IWPS-R and BMS scores indicated significantly lower quality of work life, high workload and burnout during the pandemic period compared to pre-pandemic (128.12±10.86 vs. 71.46±7.37 points for QNWLS; 101.93±8.98 vs. 61.09±7.41 points for IWPS-R; 20.93±2.03 vs. 56.02±2.46 points for BMS; p=0.001 for all). A significant correlation was found between nurses' workload and burnout level and their work hours in the pandemic ICU, weekly work hours, and the nurse:patient ratio (p
